about half the time i try to screensave my O2 with my windowmanager
shortcut, I get: (in the console)
xscreensaver: Error grabbing pointer (BadRequest (invalid request code
or no such operation))! Giving up on screensaver activation (try
again).
But then if I try again I get:
xscreensaver: couldn't bind to port 32253: Address already in use
xscreensaver: Are you running another xscreensaver?
because the first one didn't die. Killing it off allows me to get the
first message again.
This may have something to do with ctwm turning the pointer from an
i-beam to a watch when it runs the command, but no other architectures
complain. (And the fact that it dies but doesn't die is definitely a
bug anyway.)
If I run xscreensaver from the command line, it works fine.
